Answer:
Watching a baby hummingbird grow up can be a very rewarding experience. Knowing what to look for will help you understand what the hummingbirds are doing and why they are doing it.
Costa's Hummingbird, Calypte Costae, Nest with Eggs, California, USA
Baby hummingbirds are hatched out of hummingbird eggs. When a mother hummingbird is laying an egg, she can be seen sitting on her nest and shaking alternated by wiggling every few seconds. Mother hummingbirds will usually have two eggs laid on different days. The little eggs will be about the size of a pea or small jellybean. Even though the eggs will be laid on different days, both the eggs will usually hatch on the same day. The mother hummingbird can do this by not completely starting the incubation process until the second egg is laid.
The female hummingbird is the only one who will care for these little eggs. A male hummingbird does not assist with any of the childcare. In fact, if a male hummingbird comes around, the female hummingbird will consider his brightly colored feathers a threat that will attract predators and will chase him away.
The hummingbird eggs will remain in the nest incubating for approximately 16-18 days before they hatch. If the weather is cooler it may cause them to hatch a few days later. While the eggs are incubating in the nest, the mother hummingbird will sit on eggs to keep them at a constant temperature of 96 degrees.
Explanation:
C. Motility --> Listeria is motile (tumbles over each other in microscope), whereas Corynebact. is non-motile
**Both: Gram (+) rods, catalase (+)
Other tests: Nitrate reduction and sugar fermentation
Ecological pyramids are drawn where predators are above prey and they show the population number of each organism shown. Therefore, as the pyramid rises, the population number of the organism decreases, ultimately resulting in a roughly pyramidal shape. Since, organisms higher up the food chain tend to be less numerous than those at the preceding trophic levels, the pyramid is often the classic pyramidal shape. The difference in numbers of organisms at different levels can be so great that logarithmic scales have to be used.
Answer:
To cross petunia plants/lines with pink flowers (F1) which were obtained by crossing plants with red and white flowers (parental generation). The presence of petunia plants with red or white flowers in F2 would evidence that this trait is under incomplete dominance.
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is a type of relationship in which both alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals, thereby resulting in a new phenotype. This type of allelic interaction is commonly referred to as 'the dilution of the dominant allele' in heterozygous individuals. Moreover, codominance refers to a type of allele relationship in which both alleles are expressed to an equal degree in heterozygous individuals.
